Bars

Hello,

My favorite bar is made by Tribotone, who apparently is no longer making bars.

I love this bar, I have had it forever, and it sounds great, however I have basically worn it out, and I need to replace it with a new bar.

Does anyone know where I could find one like it? Its a polymer bar which slides across the strings with very little string resistance.

Any suggestions would be helpful.

thanks,

Smitty

Ezee Slide bars by Basil Hendricks on this Forum.
Theyâ€™re Polymer bars like the Tribotone.
Do a search and Iâ€™m sure youâ€™ll find a link to Basilâ€™s site.

Check out Todd Clinesmith's bars, too:

I've used one of his (13/16 x 2-3/4) for three years or so on my McKenna 8 string resonator.

I have had all three--Tribotone, Ezee Slide and Clinesmith. They're all good and all in the same ballpark as the Tribotone.

I have two of Basil's bars and love them! I've heard great things about the Clinesmith bars as well. Steel bars just feel unwieldy and slippery to me now.
